No business can ever stand still. Whatever industry you work in, it is a safe bet that it will be different in 5 years time even if you think you work for the ideal firm with ideal staff in the ideal location with ideal customers.

This means that in order to continue to be successful, even the most ideally set up business has to carry out changes of some kind. We all know that most businesses can identify things they would like to improve, so we all live in a world where we should expect things to change, often quite suddenly or dramatically. Why is it that so often change is shocking, disturbing, even devastating?

I'm Caroline Hogarth. Before I set up Miles Hogarth Ltd, I worked for large, international corporations for over 20 years. As a veteran of many, many changes in my corporate career, I have developed a set of tactics for surviving. As a manager, I had to find ways to lead my team to continue to meet their objectives while their world changed around them. As an individual, I had to learn how to plan ahead so that I could see and exploit the opportunities that company reorganisations might create.

It doesn't even matter whether you think the planned change is a great idea or not, it can affect you badly if you are not prepared to get the best out of it for you and/or your team.

To help you survive, I have distilled 20 years of experience of surviving and managing change into two booklets, which you can download from Vinehouse essential Ltd. Here's a preview of the insights you will get:-
